Where to Recycle Styrofoam Packing Peanuts in Philadelphia? WCI Weds

As many of you may see on our Instagram and Twitter feeds, my new pet Pouncey has quite the range of accessories since his adoption. Although he does try to reduce his carbon catprint, we were both offended when my ‘Pouncey toys & treats’ mail order came with a box filled of packing peanuts.

So what can you do with this tiny styrofoam confetti (aka packing peanuts)?

First and foremost, try to give to a local business or friend who would be able to reuse first. Have a friend that ships a lot of breakables to clients? Perfect fit!
